When sending mail to a mailing list I want to be able to expand the addressee list and delete certain addressees. I can do this in Eudora, but not in TBird.
I use this a lot in Eudora.

Reproducible: Always

I also agree.

Yes, the option for immediate expansion or not, very handy (I chose instant expansion).  

I would also love it if the address field was similar to the "old" style on the Mac.  Not a ton of rows waiting to be used or not, with one address per row, but just one row for all addresses of that type "To", "CC", etc... with that type growing to multiple rows if needed.

[Arnie]

Ii also agree (ID 420581 copes the same problem)

Comment 6

I agree in particular with comment #3. It's very irritating entering two addresses on the To: line and then finding that they are split onto two lines without so much as a by-your-leave.

The way Eudora does it, with predefined lines (To:, Subject:, Cc:, Bcc), is a much better approach and is much quicker to operate from a user PoV.

Penelope didn't see any activity in the vcs for the last 8 years, closing.
